Soil & Planting Organic Heirloom Pepper Seeds
I generally use sterile soil that has either been purchased from a nursery supply or you can learn to solar sterilize your own potting mix straight from your sifted, aged compost. However, that is a article for another time. What is important for you to understand when planting any seed, is there is a host of organism that will try to attack your seed or seedling. Us humans have discovered if we use sterile soil (heat treated) most of these organism are not present or dead. This year we will offer for sale the same mix I use here on the farm to plant thousands of seedlings, but if you don't get it here get it at a local nursery. Your success rate with germination will be astonishingly higher.

This is a great old-fashioned variety that has fully to semi double flowers. Blooms are 3" across and come in a wide range of colors. Long lasting and excellent cut flowers. Keep dead-headed and they will keep coming all summer. Semi-dwarf habit only reaching 24".One of the easiest flowers to start and grow.
